Question 8

8) Is there a minimum engagement period or fixed contract length?

Answer

No. We do not operate fixed-term contracts. Our engagements run on rolling contracts, designed to stay flexible for clients. If your requirements change, a minimum notice period applies so we can responsibly identify and place our engineers into other project teams.

Question 9

9) How soon can I start working with your engineering team?

Answer

Once scope, tools, and deliverables are confirmed, we can typically onboard a suitable engineer or team within 1–2 weeks, depending on role requirements and availability.

Question 10
